Hello beautiful people! Our topic today says “Sealed”.๐บ๐บ๐๐ Enjoy and be blessed!๐๐๐๐
Sealed is the past tense of seal, which means an impression of stamp on wax or on paper. Seal also means something that secures or authenticates.
As believers we are sealed by the Holy Spirit of promise, because we have believed the gospel of Jesus Christ. Eph 1:13๐. The scripture uses “sealed” and not “seal” because it is something that has been done, it is in the past tense. It is done the moment you trust and believe in Christ Jesus and you make him your Lord and Saviour.๐
It is important to note that because you believe in Jesus Christ, God has given you his Spirit, so you have been authenticated as his son/ daughter. Eph 1:13, Gal 4:6๐ This therefore means that God the Holy Spirit lives in you. He is in you to direct you, to help you live a life that pleases God, to teach you about God the Son, Christ Jesus.โคโคโคHow wonderful!๐
Jesus loves you and he wants you to experience his love here and in eternity, so believe in him as your Lord so you can be sealed with the Holy Spirit which is an evidence that you are a son/ daughter of God.๐๐
Hello friends! You are welcome to this edition on the blog! God is saying to you and I; FEAR NOT!๐บ๐บ๐๐๐๐
You know friends, with challenges hovering around starting with Covid-19, rape, killings and other terrible evils, there is a high tendency that we could be afraid by what we see on News, social media and every single place we turn.๐
However, as believers, we are people who work by faith and not by sight, 2 Cor 5:7. ๐It is not abnormal to get apprehensive and unsure of what the future holds because of the bad news everywhere BUT Hey! here is what you should know, faith in God in this perilious times, is a sign that you are confident in God.๐๐
Friends, at this time, think about how great God is, you should remember how he has protected you in time past, how he has delivered you, vindicated you, helped you in the past, and remember that he that has saved you is able to continually save you till the end.๐๐
You are not alone. The bible says, he will never leave nor forsake you. Deut 31:6. This is your reality as a Christian.๐บ๐God will never leave you nor forsake you. Terrible things may be happening, but it is your duty to proclaim positively.๐๐
Proclaim the word of faith! Romans 10:8 says that the word of God is nigh thee, even in thy mouth and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach.๐ฃ๐ฃ๐ฅ๐ฅ
Some theologians say that there are 365 โfear notโ in the Bible, and this means there is a fear not for each day. You have got to stand up and enjoy your peace in Christ. You cannot do this except by praying and renewing your mind. ๐๐
Stand up and pray. Pray that an end comes to evil report in your nation. Pray that you enjoy peace of God all through this period because as a believer you are protected, no one can pluck you from Godโs hand. John 10:28-29.๐ฅ๐ฅ
Friends, fear not! Since you believe in the name of Jesus, you are more than conqueror, the Lord is your shield and your defender, no harm can come near you. Romans 8:37. Mark 16:17-18.๐๐ Pray in the Spirit, Speak the word of faith, speak the word of God, meditate on the word and you will experience peace in Christ Jesus.๐๐๐๐ The opposite of fear is faith. Dear believers, Fear Not!๐ฅ
Please no matter who you are and how horrible you think you are, you are loved by God. God wants to rewrite your story, he wants you to experience a new beginning. ๐๐๐๐
You can only do this by accepting the life of Christ. You need to confess that Jesus is your Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead and you shall be saved. Romans 10:8-10. Pray that God forgives you of all your sins and that the blood of Jesus Christ his son, cleanses you from all sin. 1 John 1:7.๐๐
For all of you who have just received the life Christ, you are now a son/ daughter of God because you believe in the name of Jesus. John 1:12.๐บ๐บ๐๐ I am so happy for you. ๐๐Your sins have been washed away by the blood of Jesus! Now you can walk in light of God’s words, also you will begin to enjoy Godโs peace and love on earth.๐
“These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world”. John 16:33. Fear not beautiful people! Please like and share your thoughts on this topic๐.
Hello friends! Today we will be discussing Confidence in Prayer๐บ๐ I will like to start by telling a story. Long time ago, there was a boy named Jim, who asked his father to buy him a bicycle.๐ They had the following conversations: Jim: Daddy, I want a bicycle to drive around the compound and the neighborhoodโฆhmmโฆdonโt worry Daddy.๐ Daddy: Okay, Jim, my boy. I will buy you a bicycle.๐ค Jim: Thank you Daddy! I love you๐ โฆ..two years later.๐ Jim: Daddy, you promised to buy me a bicycle two years ago and you are yet to buy it for me.๐คจ Daddy: Really, my boy. You didnโt remind me dear. I wasnโt sure you still wanted it.๐ Jim: Daddy I still want, it has always been on my mind.๐ Daddy: Truth is, I know you want a bicycle my boy but I didnโt know you wanted it this soonโบ๏ธ Jim: Why Daddy?๐ฎ Daddy: Well.., because you never thought I could afford to buy it for you๐ Jim: Reallyโฆnever said that Dad๐ฎ Daddy: The day you asked for the bicycleโฆyou said โDaddy donโt worryโ.๐ Jim: I didnโt know you heard me Daddyโฆdidnโt think you could buy it for me๐ Jim: I am sorry I didnโt trust you daddy, even when you said you will buy it for me๐ Daddy: Do you now want the bicycle?๐ Jim: Yes Daddy. I really want one.๐ Daddy: โฆGoes to his room and brings the box..then gives it to Jim.๐ฅ Jim: What is this Daddy?๐ Daddy: The bicycle you asked for my boy.๐ Jim: screams and hugs his daddy. Thanks so much sweet Daddy! God bless you richly Papa.๐ฎ๐ฎ๐บ๐บ๐๐
I want to state some lessons from this story; Prayer is talking to God; it means communicating with God; talking and listening to God. Itโs a two-way thing just like communication in the real sense.๐ช๐
As we can see, Jim spoke to his Fatherโฆwe should learn to talk to God about everything and anythingโฆpray without ceasing Friends!๐ค๐ค1Thessalonians 5:17. ๐๐
Donโt just be anxious, pray! Make your requests known to God. Phil 4:6. ๐๐๐๐๐Are you in need of anything? Have you spoken to God about it or do you think Jesus cannot solve your problem. ๐๐
Remember in the story, Jim felt his daddy could not buy him a bicycle. As a matter of fact, he didnโt believe his father could afford the bicycle. That was why he didnโt receive the gift of the bicycle that he asked for.๐ฎ
Believers need to trust God some more. Whenever you pray, believe that ye receive them and you shall have them. Mark 11:24.
Believe that God can do more than you ask or think according to his power that worketh in you. Eph 3:20. As long as we ask according to Gods will for our lives, God will grant our requests. 1 John 5:14.๐บ๐บ๐๐
Finally, Jimโs daddy had already bought the bicycle, meanwhile Jim did not ask for the bicycle until two years later. Assuming Jim didnโt keep asking, his father might have ignored it or probably forgotten about it.๐ฎ๐ฎโบ๏ธโบ๏ธ
Our Father and our God does not even forget things like our earthly father. He even knows our needs before we ask, yet he says โAsk and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full. John 16:24. So letโs keep asking friends till our joy is full.๐ค๐ค๐ค๐๐๐บ๐บ
However, it is understood we are used to praying in our mother language, but it’s paramount for a believer to desire to pray in tongues. 1Cor 14:1-2 Jude 1:20. Every believer should desire to pray in the Holy Spirit.๐ค๐ค๐๐๐
Furthermore, as believers we should pray that we are filled with the knowledge of God’s will for our lives. Colossians 1:9.๐๐๐๐๐คฒ๐คฒ
Please note that Jesus said that anyone that comes unto him, he will in no wise cast out. God wants everyone to be saved.John 6: 37, Isaiah 59: 1-2. You need to receive the life of Christ, only then can you have confidence that God hears you when you pray, because it’s through Him we pray to the Father. John 14:13-14๐ค๐๐๐๐คฒ๐คฒ
I hope you have learnt few things today. Please put a comment to share your thoughts with us.๐ค๐ค๐๐

Hello friends!๐ค๐ค๐ค it is important we know our God.Today, we will be discussing about The Trinity. I know you are surprised! don’t be, God has got something for you to learn.๐๐๐๐
God the Father, Son & the Holy Spirit is one. We have one God who has three personalities at three different times. In the beginning God the Father created the Heavens and the Earth. Gen 1:1; The world was created by the spoken word of God which is Jesus Christ in Gen 1:3. John 1:1, 3.
The Spirit of God moved upon the waters. Gen 1:2. This means that The Trinity; God the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit were involved in Creation right from the beginning. 1 John 5:8.๐๐๐
Friends, Jesus Christ is God in Human flesh who came to the world through the Holy Ghost to save us from our sins. Matthew 1:20.1Timothy 3:16 ๐ค๐ค๐ช๐ช๐ช.
As believers, God the Spirit enables us to pray to God the Father through God the Son’s name. John 16:23, Romans 8:26. God the Holy Spirit is also our comforter and our guide. John 14:26.
There is so much to learn about the Trinity. Our God is three in one. At creation, He is the Almighty Creator, when man fell in the garden of Eden, He is the Saviour. In the end time and this dispensation that the Church is waiting for the coming of Christ, He is the Holy Spirit.
I hope you have learnt one or two things about The Trinity.๐ค๐ค๐ช๐ช
Friends! if you have not received the life of Jesus Christ, please do so and you will see how your life will turn around for good. I love you.

Hey friends! this word is always personalized and cherished lol… trust me everyone loves the word ‘love’. As much as I say the word often to friends and family, I have come to understand the gravity of the word. I believe that we can experience true love. Follow me and I will show you the true meaning of Love.
There is just one person who can make you understand the true meaning of Love. This person is Lord Jesus Christ. He is love personified, love felt, love experienced. The bible says in John 3: 16-18;(KJV) that God loves the whole world very much and so he gave us his son Jesus Christ to die for our sins.
God loves you irrespective of your colour, tribe or race. He did not send Christ to condemn you for your sins, God sent Christ to the world so that through him the world will be saved. Trust me,this is love displayed!
This is love, love is defined here because Christ Jesus died for us even when we did not know he existed. When we were yet sinners, Christ died for us; Romans 5:8.
Jesus Christ wants you to believe and confess him as your Lord, so his precious blood that he shed on the cross of calvary can wash all your sins away and you can reign with him in Heaven.
Nobody can love you like Christ dear friend. This is because He is love himself. Please surrender your life to Him so you can experience his love.
